It seems to be about people killing people. I have been following reports on CNN and elsewhere off and on today and this is by no means over. There are ongoing demonstrations in different cities and reports of at least two or three individuals, maybe more, who have opened fire on police in different places and contexts. This is a very serious and very dangerous situation and it appears to be spreading. There are also reports of people coming together and police and demonstrators protecting each other so it is not all one-sided, but it still looks pretty scary.

Sorry, it was from an unattributed source and therefore best disregarded in retrospect There are lots of stats out there The point I was trying to make is that although there have been far too many horrific acts of police violence, the picture is far from one-sided. Cops have to make very rapid decisions in very dangerous circumstances and sometimes they get it wrong
